We had only 1 day in Bar Harbor and were so fortunate to have used At Your Service for a 4 hour private tour. MJ was terrific - not only was her knowledge of Bar Harbor amazing but the pride she has for the area surely showed. We traveled quite a distance in our short time with her but surely felt we saw so much. We highly recommend At Your Service Tours and would highly recommend MJ as a guide.

Took a four hour tour today of Mt. Desert Island. It was our first trip to Maine so we wanted a good overview to know where we wanted to explore further. Grant was our tour guide and he was a wealth of information! He made the tour so informative and fun. He was very considerate of our needs and we so enjoyed learning about the island. Can’t wait to explore further. Highly recommend this company and specifically Grant. Request him, you won’t be disappointed.

Due to Hurricane Dorian our ship arrived a day later than originally planned. I called At Your Service Tours the day before asking if we could re-schedule - they were super accommodating. We booked the 4 hour tour. When we got off our cruise ship At Your Service has a small building right at dockside. We walked in and met our drive/guide "Sue". We got in the minivan with Sue and discussed our preferences (nature, gardens, architecture and history) and away we went. Sue tailored the tour to accommodate our preferences and she was both SUPER knowledgeable and super personable. I can't believe how much we saw and experienced in only 4 hours. While driving she would explain what we were seeing, the history, etc. and then pull over at key spots to let us take in fantastic views, walk in beautiful gardens, etc. I can't say enough good words about Sue - HIGHLY recommended. :-)
